Lady Moon

Lady Moon

A Poem by Emma Raether
"

My writing about the moon! Personally, I love the moon much more than the sun. I'm a night person, unsuprisingly. PLlease R&R!!

"

 

Lady Moon, Lady Moon
You’ve seen the rise and fall of nations
Hearts broken and children born
Fortunes made and families torn
You see the mysteries of the darkness
And you are not afraid
 
Lady Moon, Lady Moon
Why be so sad so soon?
Your children have fallen
But so many still rise
Dazzling the mortals
With their brightness in the skies
 
Lady Moon, Lady Moon
Do not hide in the cloudy cocoon
The world needs you
Your children cannot bear your burden
 
Lady Moon, Lady Moon
Come out and lay
On your favorite velvet blanket
Sprinkled with diamonds
Your beauty is unparalleled
Do not listen to those fools
Who worship your brother
The vain sun
 
Lady Moon, Lady Moon
Oh benign goddess
How I love
How you kiss my cheek each night
With your soft gentle light
Your brother is so harsh and burns my delicate skin
 
Lady Moon, Lady Moon
Do not forsake me
In my time of need
You have been there for me
When the sinners have not
 
Lady Moon, Lady Moon
You are so pure
As if carved of marble
By the great creator’s swift hands
After many millennia
But you remain the same
 
Lady Moon, Lady Moon
Please don’t ever change

Although in the poem I say the moon does not change, I know that's not true but what I mean is that she is always there, even if we can't see her.

Being that I worship the Goddess of the Moon - to a certain degree - I enjoyed this poem a lot. I could just imagine a lovely young lady pleading with the Moon from far below as I read it. It makes me want to write a dedication to the moon myself.
